I love the widebody kits that has been made for the s. But i really dont feel like spending all that much because i already love front already. Does anybody make the widebody just for the rear? I would really want to fit some nice rims with a decent lip without having to roll the fender. I mean why roll it when you can make it wide and it would look better. I havent seen any yet so i was wondering what you guys would do. I love the way the car already is. Its just the rear that bugs me out sometimes when i think about how we can fit rims with a nice lip without rolling it. I've seen nice lips on here but the stance is so aggressive.

 

I agree, the rear fenders should have been flared from factory. That and the not-so-slanted windshield are the only small gripes I have with the looks.

However to answer your question, usually wide body kits are for the front only or whole body. The fenders are part of the car so you would either need over-fenders, or to have them cut and extended with metal by a good body shop.

 

Yeah there are a few companies that make rear over-fenders or fender flares, such as Veilside or J's Racing. I like the look of the J's flares better, and they're only like $350 from AJ-R.

 

But you better make sure you have wheels with the correct offsets to make this look right

 

hmmm thats exactly what i was looking for. The over fender flare things anyone got the addy?

 

nvm found it =)

Yeah definately, without a good offset and a nice lip this setup will look weird -- but the original post stated that he was looking for wide rear fenders so that he could get some rears with a nice lip/offset.

 

SO how does the J's over fender work? Well i meant the install. From the picture it looks like they screw into your body? And im assuming that you cut the original fender to make the over-fender do what its suppose to? Never done anything liekt his before so yea im pretty clueless on this. Anyone has these J's over-fender? If you do what kinda offsets did you go with ?

 

Hmm I wish someone made a wide kit that looked more OEM...

 

Ask more about this in the JDM forum, they would have more info. I have never run them before but yes, they rivet the over-fenders into your existing fender.

The fenders are 20-25mm wider than stock, so take whatever offests you would normally run (which depend on the width of the wheel and the tire size you're running) and take 20-25mm off of that. For reference there is a good thread stickied to the top of the Wheel subforum that references common offsets for aftermarket wheels & tire sizes.

Edit: FYI I'm bored so I looked up an example for you: for instance, if you are running a 9" wide wheel in the rear with a 245 tire, for stock fenders you would need at least a 45mm offset to not rub ever. With the J's fenders, you could get away with a wheel with a 20-25mm offset -- much nicer Keep in mind a couple things though -- (a) this is assuming you are at stock ride height; anything lower and you may be rubbing with these offsets and (b) this is assuming stock camber; you can adjust for more negative camber so that the wheels won't rub, and then run wheels wth less offset (although your tire life will pay the price).
